    How to connect 3 Monitors

    Hello,

    Building my first cockpit, and its an airbus as it should be easier/cheaper. I have a display already set up as the FMC from vrinsight (CDU2) and I am about to get 2 new 17" monitors for the PD/ND and the engine displays. The problem i have is that how do i connect the 3 monitors into 1 output (VGA) from my computor.

    I was thinking if i connect 2 Y connecters together.

    Regards,
    Conor

    There is something things, but those are very expensive and I'm not sure if these stuff will work properly. If you buy those things tell me how they work please...

    Easiest way is to add an additional video card with two outputs. A "Y" cable will send the same signal to another monitor. Each monitor needs it's own video output from the computer.

    Thanks to your fast reply, the TripleHead2Go looks like the one for me, so when the £ is stronger i'll get it.

    Re: How to connect 3 Monitors

    I use 1 computer and 2 video cards with a total of 4 video outputs. 1 output goes to a 3htgo which drives 3 projectors for the forward outside view. another output is on a splitter ("Y") cable going to the pilot side and copilot side.showing the same thing. The 3rd output goes to a center monitor and the fourth goes to a touch screen monitor. This is what it looks like up and running with the default Mooney in FSX. Looks about the same with FS9.

    Regards,
    Brian
